Teeny Tiny Shopping Spree/PSA

This is a super tiny "haul" ← total honesty I hate that word. I am not pulling or dragging stuff home with effort and I rarely have to force someone to go shopping so haul just has never made much sense to me?? But I also dislike shopping spree sooo what do I call it?

I digress...

First item up is some items from Desert Essence. I love this brand. I use their shampoos & oils. They had a sale in January on their organic products so I scooped up these three items.  I have used the Jojoba and Jojoba & Coconut before but the Jojoba, Coconut & Coffee oil is new. I figured it was worth a shot since Coffee stimulates the skin and with summer around the corner might as well start tightening up that lovely cellulite we all have..Right!

Then yesterday I was at Marshals and spotted this for $9.99. I have always wanted to try BH Cosmetics brushes cause I was too much youtube and everyone says they are good!

I mainly wanted it for the 101 brush because it is supposed to be like the original sigma E40 that everyone raves about. I got the E40 but after they changed it and to be honest the new version is scratchy and not very fluffy. I hardly ever reach for it.

All the brushes are soft and I have already tested out the large & small shader brush, pencil brush and the 101 blending brush and I love them all!  So if you can find it at Marshall's or TJ Maxx scoop it up. You can also get this package on BH cosmetics for $10.00 + shipping or on Amazon for $11.00 + 4.99 shipping.

Okay now for the PSA

If you are in the market for a new mascara and are think about picking up the Bare Minerals Lash Domination,,,

DON'T!! 

For $19 it's not worth it to me. You could find a drugstore mascara that works better.

Unless you like transferring, clumpy lashes and are not sensitive to chemical smells then maybe it's  right up your alley. 

It transfers like crazy and the smell (GAG) plus the clumping! Um no just no!!!

Mine was new so unless it was old from sitting on the shelf in the store I am not sure why it had such a chemical smell. I like most of my other bare mineral products but this was definitely a fail for me. 

So there ya go that is my microscopic spree/haul/please give me another word for this and PSA. I hope you all (what 5 of you ) have a fantastic Tuesday. 

Teeny Tiny Haul

Yesterday I finally left the house and went shopping with a friend.

We went to the Mall and I got some Christmas shopping done so I can't show that on the blog but I finally found a Fall mug when we ventured over to Pier One.

I have been on the hunt since the beginning of October and no one had any and I really did not want to order one.

I absolutely love it. It is simple and screams Fall and it was only $6.95!

Now I have something to drink my ick tea in (green tea with no sugar/honey per acupuncturists orders) Woot Woot!!

We also went to the new Home Goods. Can you believe I have never stepped foot in one. Reminds me of Marshalls/TJ Max but with only home stuff and I Am In LOVE with this place!!!

I got some Christmas stuff there too so can't show it but look at these yummy things I scored.

There website had really good reviews on their regular pancake mix and breads so I figured at $3.99 why not. I can not wait to try them and I will report back.

A mug and some carbohydrates....It's the little things in life that truly make me happy!

I hope you are all having a fantastic Tuesday!!! ☺

Nordstrom Rack Finds

Me and my friend hit up our local Nordstrom Rack the other day and they had so much stuff.

They had Stila palettes, Lorac palettes, Makeup Forever stuff and so much more.

Plus they had these two items from Two Faced. 

First off the packaging is just too cute so I could not pass these up for that alone. 

The soul mates blush/bronzer is still on the Too Faced site for $34.00 and I got it for $11.97. It has awesome reviews and it's named after my favorite couple on FRIENDS!!!!! 

SCORE 

The Too Faced BB Creme was originally $39.00 and it was only $7.97. This was a hit or miss product when it was released but it was the right shade and after doing some googling I figured out you need to use it with a beauty blender or real techniques sponge instead of the little brush it comes with for it to work good. But for seven bucks and some change I can work with it! 

So if you are near a Nordstrom Rack I would definitely pop in and see what kind of goodies they have!

I hope you are all having a fabulous Monday!

Please say a little prayer for me since I am having my back injections tomorrow.

Small Ulta Haul

I only got a few things but I wanted to place a order since I had a coupon for 20% off any your order including prestige items.

Here are the samples. I gave them to my sis-n-love cause I already have tried all of these.

The Catrice beautifying lip smoother in apricot cream. This stuff smells like cupcakes! Mmmmm cupcakes!!!   It just gives a wash of color but I really like it just from using it twice. It retails for $4.99.

The Tarte how sweet it is deluxe lip and cheek set. The lip & cheek color is Sweet which is a golden pink color. I already own these products in different colors and absolutely love them!! This set retails for $14.00.

The last items I got were the Murad time release acne cleanser & the advanced acne & wrinkle reducer. These are both part of their anti-aging line.  I just love having to fight wrinkles and acne at the same time ! I still love my Peter Thomas Roth anti aging gel cleanser but I wanted to see if this was better cause I have been seeing rave reviews about it.  The only thing I can say since I have only used it once is I am not a fan of the smell of the cleanser. The cleanser retails for $32.00 & the acne and wrinkle reducer retails for $44.00.

Those came with a free sample of the Oil Control Mattifier too.

I am soo glad I had that coupon cause I saved about $20.00 and I got free shipping. So basically I just paid for the Murad products.

Happy Monday!
